National Gallery of Canada Reviews

Miss the days when this place was free. Nice to have parking at the site, which you pay for. Food is expensive so eat before you go

Destination if we do the big Canada trip we are talking about.

Superb place. Interesting exhibitions. The chapel is not to be missed.

A great treat. The gallery does a great job in delivering its primary mission of a complete review of Canadian art, such as it is. The Canadian collection lurches from ancient Indigenous, snow and trees to modern Indigious, an emerging urban world, and a leap into post 1920 European influences. Thankfully the snow has melted, and the trees for the most part cut down. Impressionism doesn t seem to have found its way into Canadian art in any important way. There is also a large collection of post-modern pieces that I still don t understand. Also the second floor has a very nice introduction to European and American art with a Van Gogh and Picasso thrown in. As an introduction what the greater galleries of the world have to offer this is a good start. My only complaint is that the boutique seemed to take greater pride in selling prints of iconic paintings that the Gallery doesn t own instead of the iconic Canadian pieces that they do. A must visit for every Canadian and a great look into the Canadian soul for anyone trying to understand us.

Very peaceful indeed ! And delicious food as well. It's a small cafe inside of the business center many already made soups to take and eat immediately as well as wide selection of specials.

Super glad I took the girls out this week. Worth every second. They had quite the fun and we should be back within short order to devote a whole day to art, music, and sciences in the area!

This and the OAG caught my eye. Thanks a bunch!!

Poor selection of artwork, very nice architecture though.

Beautiful collection. Need all day to get thru everything. Great location.

I could have spent ages in here, there is so much to see! Was especially pleased with the amount of Group of Seven paintings, I cannot wait to return and spend an entire day here sometime soon.
